Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I would not consider him country music. huh
Hence magicky.
GODDAMN, today is frustrating me.
Unrelated to that, I might get staff. I...I have been avoiding that diligently since Michigan. Countrywide specifically has IT career paths that avoid managing people, and you can get right up to under VP, which wasn't bad.
Maybe it would just be someone I am senior to, but adjacent to. That would be okay.

You know, librarians are really magicians if that's the kind of question they get that has 50+% of the information wrong. If you can answer a question with 40+% of the information wrong, you may be a librarian.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton fought tirelessly for abolition of slavery, but campaigned against limiting the franchise to men in the 15th amendment. They split with the abolitionist movement over the issue and formed a new group to fight for women's rights. The fight for women's suffrage had been explicitly put on the back burner until slavery was ended, so they were pissed off to be told that this was the blacks' moment and women had to wait. They did use some inflammatory language in arguing the injustice of giving the vote to ignorant men but not educated women, but they were justifiably angry. Sojourner Truth originally opposed the 15th amendment for that reason, but ultimately supported it as better than nothing.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
apparently the 'Louis' part of the name is to be pronounced: lou-eeee not lew-is.
I now want to call the baby Jorge.

I knew he was named after a Frenchman! Only thing that made sense.
I suppose it's good to (still) be the person who gets calls like "Can you tell your boss not to think X?" but oy. Making people think things (or not think them) is a highly variant power.
Also, the meeting is making my headache kill me, so car naptime.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I sorted through most of the mail, unpacked about half of a suitcase, and made one scrapbook page. This was not quite my plan.
